A visionary. A rule breaker. A legend. For over three decades, Franca Sozzani, the trailblazing Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia, redefined the boundaries of fashion journalism. Unafraid to provoke and inspire in equal measure, her fearless storytelling explored themes few dared to touch, from diversity and domestic violence to addiction and recovery, transforming fashion into a mirror of culture and conscience.
Franca: Chaos & Creation – The Impossible Collection is an exquisite tribute to her bold creative vision. Curated by Suzy Menkes, this handcrafted Assouline edition gathers the most iconic photographs from Sozzani’s personal archive and the Vogue Italia vault, with work by Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, and other industry legends.
A luxurious collector’s masterpiece housed in a hardcover slipcase, the book chronicles Franca’s profound influence on couture, models, and fashion as a form of social dialogue. Each page is a celebration of her brilliance , where chaos met creation and beauty told a story.
“Fashion isn’t only about clothes. It’s about life, culture, and emotion.” — Franca Sozzani
